Towards secure democracy: a hybrid blockchain-enabled secure and scalable e-voting system with sharding and post-quantum cryptography
Abstract
This paper presents a hybrid blockchain-enabled e-voting system that combines the security benefits of blockchain technology with post-quantum cryptographic techniques. The system addresses both quantum computing threats and scalability concerns through innovative sharding mechanisms.
